An hour-long police chase this afternoon in Houston saw an SUV being pursued by a handful of Houston police vehicles down Hwy. 288, residential areas, and the Englewood train yard, before the suspect exited the vehicle and lead police on a very short foot chase.

Victor Senties, HPD spokesman, said that the chase started just after 3 p.m. in the 11900 block of Almeda at West Airport. The reason for chase is not yet known.

"We don't know why he's being pursued or what started it," Senties said.

Senties adds that the scene is still fluid and investigators are still hashing out the details of the chase.

4 p.m.: Suspect in custody. TV reports he was Tasered, but we didn't see that part obviously. He ran maybe 100 yards and disappeared from sight, only to appear again while getting the what-for from cops after being brought down.

3:55 p.m.: We're on foot now. Looks like a white male. Hey, I'm just seeing this on TV, I don't know.

3:50 p.m.: And we're on the train tracks now. The car is now riding along the tracks. Doesn't seem very well thought out.

3:47 p.m.: The Aztek is now by the Englewood Train Yard. He is estimated to only be going 45 mph, making it easier for the TV helicopter to track. Thanks, bad guy! A weird, meandering circle move later and the driver has gotten away and oops, next to the train tracks.

3:45 p.m.: The fact that this is a Pontiac Aztek is making Breaking Bad fans chuckle. The driver has cut through a few parking lots, and is now in a grassy area.

3:41 p.m.: TV is marveling at this relatively low-speed chase, even as the vehicle is concealed by trees. The driver is now meandering through a neighborhood.

3:40 p.m.: The car hasn't yet hit any large patches of traffic even as rush hour looms. The Aztek barely hit a truck in an intersection.TV is now reminding us that HISD isn't back in session, so no school children should be in danger from the chase.

3:38 p.m.: According to KTRK the chase began earlier this afternoon off Almeda and W. Airport.

3:37 p.m.: The tan Aztek has now taken to I-10 East.

3:34 p.m. : The vehicle, with what appears to be temporary tags, is now just east of Highway 59, and is turning into downtown traffic, passing Dynamo Stadium and Minute Maid Park areas.
